Rev. Al Rips Black Mega-Churches on LGBT, Prop 8

First, two claps for Rev. Al.
Yeah, you read that right. In one of the more plain and clear ways to describe the hypocrisy that often creeps within religion, specifically within the corporation-esque entities of Black mega-churches, Rev. Al is being quoted all over the internet about a recent sermon he gave.

Rev. Al Sharpton Speaks [...]

Things to Be Thankful For

What a year it’s been. About this time last year, I made a similar post, thanking God for the many blessings that He’s bestowed in my life. With the turmoil and excitement of this year, I thought it’d be good to continue that tradition.
Professionally, I’m thankful for the new networks I’ve made. Whether friends on [...]

The Homophobia Has to Stop

Part of an email I received from a friend right after Obama won:
I’m still not safe in my country … my state … my city … my county … my polling place. America has indeed spoken. On a night when so much of my history was celebrated, perhaps vindicated, so much of me was mutilated [...]

So You Say I Am Too “Upperclass” to Have HIV?

HIV/AIDs is knocking on the door of black america and too many of us have let him in. We have been so worried about AIDS in Africa that we let that joker tip toe through the foyer. I certainly hope you and yours are not directly affected by HIV/AIDS, but if you are a black [...]

The Newest YBP … and a note about dreams

Please join me in welcoming Gregory Robert Mitchell, one of the newest YBP’s and the baby boy of our dear editors Kimberly Michelle and Fredric.
I’m so tempted to coin them the latest example of the American Dream brought to fruition. But, I don’t believe in the American Dream. I do believe in Kim and Fred. [...]

Sean Bell, Marcus Dixon

The last few days have thrust two stories of Black men into the lime light. Both of their paths have trails reaching back, and both began with bad decisions. One has an ending that causes feelings of despair and anger, while the other sheds light to possibility and hope.
If you haven’t heard the story, Sean [...]

Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite Holidays. When I was younger it was all about the RIDICULOUS amounts of food present. Turkey, ham, dressing, pies, cakes, and red Kool-Aid. It was one of the few days in the year when you could sit on grandma’s couch, with the fine plastic covering and eat [...]

Indeed, our friends, creators and editors Kim and Fredric were married yesterday and are on their way to their honeymoon.
At the reception, Kim’s sister, and maid of honor, gave a customary toast but offered something I had never heard before. She said, “instead of thinking life is too short [...]

6 Reasons Why Men Cheat

I heard about this article on the radio yesterday and how women just had to check out the list (because, you know, if a man cheats it must be something we are doing wrong.) The info comes from Steve Santagati author of The Manual: A True Bad Boy Explains How Men Think, Date and Mate [...]

What Would LOVE Do?

Is it time to rethink love?
Recently, I attended a talk with Kevin Rice, a student of “A Course in Miracles,” who offered a very atypical view of life, religion and especially love. Kevin opined that the laws of romantic relationships and traditional courtship are mostly man-made, self-created notions. And, that the rules, demands and [...]
